Tried several parts of the Wyebank run but only got takes at the lower end. All but one fish came to rolled meat. Fairly easy wading to the edge of the deeper water and just a flick put the bait in the run on a lightly weighted line. The fish seemed to be holding at all depths. Almost every run through triggered interest.
Ironically, the best fish, a 5lb barbel came when I paused wading for lunch, parked myself in the chair and the rod in the rest after casting out a Haiths red pellet.

A first for me on the Wye…A Hiker in my swim…A young and probably fortunately tall lady scrambled down the bank close to where I was fishing and informed me she was on the wrong side of the bank for her “Hike”…She kindly informed me she was going to make the crossing because the next bridge was too far away…I explained it was deeper and faster than it looked but she was not bothered by this and set off wading with her phone placed inside the top of her rucksack…Halfway across it was not looking too good but she calmly took her rucksack off ..held it above her head and calmly navigated her way to the opposite bank…Very impressive!! The fishing was too and although the Barbel were between 2 to 4lb they were young strong healthy fish…

After struggling in the intense heat of the previous day the Wyebank shade was appreciated. An after lunch start was not ideal and the fishing was slow at first with a few missed bites and a chub and an eel but that all changed a few hours in when something more substantial bent the rod over. An arm aching 10 or so minutes later the barbel I made the trip over from Ireland for lay in the landing net. 9lb 4oz of majestic power, carefully weighed, photoed and recovered left one very happy angler.
So happy I won't go on about the "good access."

Evening ticket.
Tried the float for a couple of hours. A bit too much water.
Resorted to the lead for the last couple of hours. Managed two nice barbel to about 5lb.
River fining down and a good colour.

Cubed, spiced meat accounted for a few decent chub to 5lbs. Late afternoon, Fergie time, 3 cubes left and a barbel about 7lbs came to the net.
